A 36-Metre Tower Is Proposed for an Ormstown Park Lot.
A 36-Metre Tower Is Proposed for an Ormstown Park Lot.
Here Is Everything You Need to Know.
Bell Mobilité's plan to install a 36-metre monopole on municipal land moved through a council vote, a signed lease, and a federal consultation process — with virtually no public awareness.
Sometime in late 2025 or early 2026, Bell Mobilité identified a wooded municipal lot near Route 138 as the proposed location for a new telecommunications tower. The land belongs to the municipality of Ormstown — and therefore to its roughly 4,300 residents. Most of those residents did not know this project existed. The Observer has reviewed every available document. This is what the record shows.
